Description
This progressive spring suspension for off-road and severe-service vocational applications has been around since 1948. The design with its large inverted spring and bouncy rubber load pads (aka elephant’s feet) provided ATRO an opportunity to dramatically improve the ride quality for which this suspension is notorious.
